In short: Tapas bars, restaurants and food-market stalls in Madrid can use menuQR to turn their existing PDF menu into a QR code menu that guests open in their browser – no app needed. It suits a city that eats in several rounds – vermouth before lunch, a long lunch, tapas and a late dinner – and where many visitors prefer a menu in English. menuQR is an online service from Germany; setup and support are fully digital.
Where a QR code menu helps Madrid venues most
From la hora del vermut to a late dinner
Madrid's day has several food moments: vermouth and a tapa before lunch, the main meal in the afternoon and dinner that rarely starts before nine. If your offer changes across the day, give each part its own menu – for example lunch, evening tapas and drinks – with the three menus included in the Professional plan.
Tapas routes in La Latina
On a Sunday after the Rastro flea market, guests move from bar to bar in La Latina. A QR code on the counter lets them check what's on before they order – useful when the bar is three rows deep (QR code placement).
Gourmet food markets
In Madrid's gastronomic markets, each stall sells a handful of specialities. One clearly visible QR code per stall shows the full offer with prices and allergens, without paper menus on a crowded counter (market stall).
Trade fair weeks and visitors
Trade fairs at IFEMA, such as FITUR in January, bring many international guests to Madrid. An English menu as a separate PDF helps your team on the busiest nights – and outside fair weeks it keeps working for tourists.

What applies to digital menus in Spain
- Allergens: Spain applies the EU allergen rules for non-prepacked food through Real Decreto 126/2015. The 14 major allergens must be disclosed and easily accessible to guests before they order.
- Printed alternative: Keep a printed menu or staff with documented allergen information for guests without a smartphone.
- Prices: Show final prices including VAT (IVA) on your menu – menuQR displays your PDF exactly as designed.
